so today when i turned my duck eggs i candled all of them to see how they are progressing, all of them look really good. im on day 17 i think.
the last one i looked at had black floating specks in what was the little bit i could see through the egg. the duckling is active inside. but these black floaties are a cause for concern.
anyone have this happen? anyone know what it could be?.
thank you

prolly from them kicking themselves
